I wonder if this is a matter of how you filled in the preferences
dialog. What works for me is this:
1. Install Enrico's lp.exe binary in the LyX bin directory.
2. In Tools->Preferences...->Outputs->Printer, set the printer name to
'lp' and leave the printer command 'dvips'.
This should not be necessary. It should work simply reconfiguring LyX.
I mean, you should have to touch nothing in preferences.
Well, I'm confused (as usual). When I first installed your lp.exe, I
reconfigured LyX, but printing did not work until I specified LP as the
printer name. Yesterday I restarted LyX, and the printer name was again
blank (I had apparently not saved my change). Printing did not work
until I entered LP as the printer name (and saved it). So just now I
started LyX, removed the printer name, saved, restarted, reconfigured,
restarted (printer name still blank), and now printing works with the
printer name blank.
I can see where the configure script looks for lp.exe, and I can see it
in the "local" copy of lyxrc.defaults. No idea why it didn't work
before (other than to blame it on Windows, of course).
